I really like Matt Hammit of Sanctus Real.
His youngest son was born in 2010 with a serious heart defect. God provided excellent care, and today he’s growing – with half a heart.
It also did something to his father, making him both more serious and more joyful. I’ve enjoyed watching this happen, and also seeing how God has continued to fuel his passion for suffering families experiencing what he did.
Earlier this year, Matt created his first solo album which I have enjoyed a great deal. And this particular song has special meaning.
Merry Christmas, all my friends! May we bask in the immeasurable grace God has extended to us this day!
What a wonderful song, and wonderful insights on your part, John! You hit the nail on the head when you said that this man is “both more serious and more joyful.” That has been our experience as well. Being in ministry, we are sobered as we walk through trials ourselves and with others, but our joy is greater as well!
Thank you so much for sharing this song. The Lord has used it to minister to my soul countless times in the past week. This truly is grace, and one day the sun will rise!
